34 Case Studies
Challenges to Development Challenges Conventional reserves bases need more efficient techniques to development Increasingly the region is moving into development of remote resources Jungle developments Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia New regions with little or no oil & gas infrastructure High altitude Geothermal Chile, Peru, Colombia, Argentina Technically challenge resources make revolutionary drilling efficiency gains paramount to economically develop Marginal fields Heavy Oil Shale Gas and Oil Fractured reservoirs Portability of rigs is a key challenge in the whole region Moving a rig is by definition Non Productive Time, and increase risk exposure Often conflictive nature of operator service company relationships are counterproductive Taking regional, labour and social issues into account is paramount to long term sustained improvements 35
Argentina Portability & Automation Marginal shallow under pressured reservoir Wells taking 10-14 days to drill and 2 days to move and made the project uneconomic Rig 551 operating at night in the Neuquén Basin, Central Argentina 36 Custom built, highly mobile, automated AC rig dropped average well times to 5.2 days, including move. Drilled 174 wells in 3.5 years
Peru Jungle Operations Remote jungle operations Access to resources in jungle via helitransportable rigs Rig built in collaboration with customer to make project more cost effective 37
Argentina Compact Resource Development Reserves required tight well spacing Project required 16 wells per pad to be efficient Manipulator Crane 1600 wells to drill 1000 x 16 well pads Walking Automated Rig 38 Work with customer to build a customer AC, automated rig that can walk between the wells. Recorded times from well release to spud new well 18 minutes.
Diversified Market Presence Only active rig and directional player in the rapidly growing Geothermal Market Central America / Mexico / Colombia / Peru / Argentina / Bolivia all with active projects Estrella Rig 1201 drilling a geothermal well in northern Chile at 4500 m of altitude Proved that a modern automated rig can outperform in remote geothermal operations 39
Chile High Mountain Geothermal Geothermal is a growing niche in Latin American Resources are at high altitude, but close to mining customers Rig 1201 operating in the Altiplano at 4800 m Rig 1201 operating in the central Andes buried in snow US Shale Gas portable - AC rig heavily modified for high altitude drilling + full automation systems added. 40
Target Market Colombia New resources being discovered in areas with limited infrastructure Llanos and southern areas have great potential, but are difficult to access 550 HP drilling rig which is 7 loads. Managing a remote project where camp + rig + all service company equipment is 22 loads on 48 x 48 meter locations 41
Target Market Colombia Transportation costs skyrocketing Difficult to access areas, and high demand for transport has driven rig moving costs through the roof Conversion of workover fleet into fast moving, self guyed rigs to reduce equipment needed to move the rigs 42
Solutions for Efficient Development 1. Non conventional resources require non conventional solutions 2. Marginal and remote fields require working smarter, not cheaper to produce economically 3. Portability always brings benefits Solutions Lighter easier to move rigs Application of AC technology Application of pad drilling Spec fit for purpose size, instead of using bigger rigs to drill smaller wells Eliminate use of cranes and anchor lines Reduce incidents and accidents Application of automation for improved safety and operational consistency Look to remote and hostile operations for lessons in how technology can make a difference Collaborative, longer term contracts to provide better learning, and justify the application of more fit for purpose technology 43
